Emerald City

Up Down Angles Turns

Mountain folds and Valley bends

Origami streets

                                                                                    Serpentine buses

                                                                                    Monorail Water taxi

                                                                                    Bicycle backpack

                                    Queen Anne Chinatown

                                    Pioneer Capitol Hill

                                    Bay Sound Lake Starbucks

Riding on the bus

Glass Steel Skyscrapers a tilt

Or maybe it’s me

                                                            Latte people pass

                                                            Frappe clouds and Mocha smiles

                                                            Cappuccino dreams

Caffeine and cell phones

Pulse skips to a concrete beat

City on the move

                                                                        White Black Brown Yellow Red

                                                                        Emerald City rainbow

                                                                        North West melting pot

Steel needle phallus

Rending clouds of apathy

Begets a new dawn

                                                Mist Sprinkles Drizzle

                                                Cloudy Windy Sun peeks through

                                                Showers kiss the earth
